ADVICE FROM TONNIE When changing gears, make sure you stop
pedalling and select the desired gear. Do not continue pedalling when
changing gears. This can damage the gearshift mechanism. Damage to the
gear hub as a result of abuse is not covered by the warranty.
Boarding and cycling
Always use the parking brake when getting on or off the bike so that the bike
remains stationary. Put it in first gear (if important) so that you can pedal more
easily. As soon as you sit down and want to ride, release the parking brake.
• When you get on, lift your foot to the other side so that your feet are on
either side of the bike. Then put your strongest leg on the lowest pedal
and sit on the saddle.
•
Stay upright at all times and keep your feet on the pedals. Even when you
brake or stand still.
•
The Vasco is largely made of aluminium, which is considered non-
flammable. The other materials used, such as plastic, rubber and so
on, are not fireproof.
•
Wear a suitable bicycle helmet and reflective clothing to increase
visibility on the road.
ADVICE FROM TONNIE When cycling, steer with your arms and not
with your body. Cycling into corners takes some getting used to. In order
to maintain stability, lean your body slightly towards the inside of the
bend. Adjust your speed accordingly. Avoid sudden and violent steering
movements. In this way, you can avoid accidents and damage.
The parking brake is activated by squeezing the brake lever
on the right and pressing the button (see picture).
To release the parking brake, squeeze the brake lever
slightly. The button then automatically releases from its
lock. The bike is now ready to use.
